I was reading an article today regarding Kraft and them pulling out of their support of ALEC and it made me start thinking about opinions and blogging in this new era and how it impacts business. More importantly, business owners blogging and sharing opinions regarding politics, news etc.

Since I’m taking this new silly turn into the blogging world and knowing me as I do, it will be inevitable that I share my thoughts and opinions about things. Anything from fashion to gay marriage! You name it, I feel strongly about most of all that I do.

So before I begin on my daily magniloquence, I need to ask this question. What are your thoughts on how blogging and sharing opinions openly on forums such as this impacts ones business? Facebook, where it’s your friends following you, they already know how nuts you are, they are friends on fb for that reason probably. The world of blogging and all the stuff about employers butting heads about social media, it’s a question to be asked.

Im a small business owner and my customers are everything to me. My intent would never be to turn someone off but I also need to be true to myself and feel there is so much to say. I know… I know… since when have I been worried about offending someone. Me the toilet mouthed, dirty joke telling……..

Would seriously love to hear opinions on this topic and I am sure not the first biz owner to ask the question.

what are business owners looking for in a bookkeeper? Is there anything that would make you switch for your current bookkeeper. Whether it be logmein services, cheaper prices, nice personality, easy to use site. Anything at all …..thank you!

I currently am running my business out of my home rather than out of my office because I have a toddler and my husband’s business is really busy. I need to be home during the day to take care of my daughter in addition to doing all of the house work. What works better for other home business owners: designating a day or two to just getting most of the house work done and leaving the rest to do mostly business OR splitting nearly every day up between doing house work and business?
I’ve recently tried splitting an entire week’s worth of housework between 7 days and have a long to-do list for my business that I would pick tasks from but I would still get disorganized and am being too inefficent. I cannot have a specific hour to hour schedule because of my toddler, I need to be flexible. Any suggestions?

Im a huge fan of Atari Teenage Riot(now defunct) and Alec Empire but have never found a proper forum where I can find out information or pictures, does anyone know of a forum other than Alec’s official site?
